About Us
Serving Lucas County For Over 50 Years
For many years, the churches of Lucas County have worked together to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. In 1982, as the farm crisis devastated rural America, this collaboration led to the creation of a Crisis Center dedicated to helping those facing the greatest hardships. The ministry continued to grow, and in the 1990s, the Crisis Center became the Ministry Center. To support our expanding mission, we purchased our current building on 7th Street, where we continue to serve the community today.
